DSL Providers Make Sense for Home Based Businesses

October 17th, 2008

Today’s home-based entrepreneur usually operates many types of devices from home including a telephone, FAX, and computer with Internet access. There are several options available for connecting to the internet, including satellite and cable, but the most affordable service belongs to the DSL providers. Depending upon your need for speed, the cost can range from twenty to forty dollars a month. The plans with the lowest price allow you to transfer data between five and fourteen times faster than an ordinary dialup connection. The higher price plans usually allow you to operate at speeds up to one hundred twenty-five times faster than dialup services. A small business with low reliance on the net, can usually get away with only subscribing to the “light” plans since they tend to mostly use the internet for email and general browsing type activities.

It is a good idea to compare the cost of different high speed DSL providers before ordering your service. You can find many good resources on the net to help compare fees between the ISP’s. Services can usually be ordered online, saving you time waiting on hold. Prices vary for installation, set up fees and monthly services. If you live in an older home you may be better served by calling the companies directly though. The increase in the number of home-based over the past twenty years has led to increased demand on the telecommunication systems. Older homes built before the onset of the home computer and Internet are especially limiting for the person who wants to work at home. Most homes in this category have only one telephone line coming into the house and it is usually in the kitchen or living room area. Unless the home-based entrepreneur wants to sit at the kitchen table or in front of the TV to do business, it usually means a second line must be added to the house if a separate telephone number is needed for the business, although if this is not necessary, the DSL provider can accommodate a telephone and computer on one line.

Verizon Internet Service is a Speed Demon

September 12th, 2008

Although when comparing Verizon Internet Service with others out there, the numbers shown as what you can expect your surfing speed to be seem to me to be somewhat misleading. I’ve had cable internet service and now have Verizon Internet Service and although the cable service was supposed to be super fast to match its super price tag, the actual working speed while using the internet does not seem to be any faster at all than the Verizon Internet Service. Add this to the monthly savings in cost from cable to Verizon and there is just no comparison. Bottom line, go with Verizon.

September 11th, 2008

I like to give my business to companies that have top notch customer service. When a friend told me how happy he was with the newest Comcast specials and offers, I decided to give them a call. I ordered a new cable package and the broadband high speed internet. The customer service rep walked me through my options and helped me pick out the perfect package for my needs. It only took a few minutes on the phone and my order was complete.

The next day a service technician was at my home and installed my new cable and broadband for me. I was really impressed with how courteous he was. He answered all my questions and showed me how to use the new equipment he installed. I especially enjoy my new broadband internet that is so fast. Now I have so many great channels to watch on digital cable, I don’t know where to start. I am so pleased with my new service. I will be sure to recommend the current Comcast specials to all of my friends.
